Fertility Awareness for Achieving Pregnancy

Deciding to conceive is embarking on the journey of a lifetime.

Nothing changes your life like being a parent.

​

Did you know that your current menstrual health determines the early development of your embryo? 

​

Taking the time to assess your health, and to tackle menstrual health concerns, will help you conceive when you're ready.

 

It will also set you up for a successful adjustment to early parenthood in the 4th trimester. Any parent will tell you, setting yourself and your body up for a good transition is worth its weight in gold! 

​​

Whether you're thinking of conceiving in the next few years, or you have already been trying for some time, Fertility Awareness is a helpful tool to support your journey.

 

I am here to lend a holistic perspective to where you might be in your conception journey, and support your next steps. 

​

Did you know? 

 

• It takes about 6 - 18 months for your body to return to normal fertility after using hormonal birth control. ​

​​

• It takes the average couple of normal fertility about 4 months to conceive, and 80% of people with normal fertility conceive within 12 months of trying. ​

​​

• Age is only one factor of many that impacts your fertility. If you haven't reached your mid 40s, other factors might be even more important in your individual ability to conceive, including: 

  • nutrition (do you have any nutrient deficiencies?)

  • digestive health (is your gut biome out of balance?)

  • liver function (can your body process toxins effectively?)

  • metabolic & adrenal health (do you regularly feel able to manage stress? Are you generally in a good mood? or do you feel sluggish and experience specific food cravings?)

  • mental health (who is in your support team? Do you feel capable of entering into parenthood? How are you coping with day to day life?)  ​

  • menstrual health (do you have regular periods? are you ovulating?) 

  • and so. much. more! 

​

I bet you've received lots of pressure around age as a factor. Probably before you even knew you wanted to become a parent. 

​

As a society we tend to forget that pregnancy is only the first step, and our overall health also dictates how we show up as parents. 

​

The truth is only you have all the information about you, your body, and your physical and spiritual readiness to welcome a new being into your life.

 

You deserve nonjudgmental support to help you sort out what you need to become the best parent you can be. ​It takes a village to raise children, and it takes a village to nurture parents.

 

If you are lucky enough to know you want to be pregnant before you conceive, the best thing you can do is assess your overall health, and set yourself up to become a parent when you're at your most nourished, supported, and empowered. Joining the Bodywise community, and tuning into your own body, can do help you do just that. 

​

If you are coming off birth control, learning with the Bodywise community will equip you with the knowledge you need to support the return of your fertility, and avoid conceiving until you're seeing healthy cycle parameters. 

​

If you've already been trying to conceive for someone time, we can assess your menstrual health together, and determine a plan to support your conception journey. This includes expert referrals in the event that you could use some medical intervention. ​

​

Knowing Fertility Awareness will equip you with the knowledge to assess your menstrual cycle health, and I will support you to target any interventions you might need to get back to wellness. 

​​

Becoming a parent is becoming a different version of yourself. You deserve an empowered experience, and to go on this journey with the genuine love and care of community support. You don't have to go through this alone! ​
